Okay, so everyone’s saying it’s cute and all, but is there an actual practical use for this, as a grown-ass adult? I mean, sure it’s pocketable and all but if you’re thinking of portability, that would require your phone/tablet case to have a stand of some sort, which may not be an option (especially if you’re commuting). So either this thing has a very niche use case or I’m missing something…
Even for portability they have the 8bitdo Lite which is smaller than most modern phones. Wider surface area, fits in a small pocket. Works well with a tablet or laptop gaming setup.
This is good if you want even more portability, for a cheap $25 bluetooth controller with pretty great platform support. Some of my friends go to a lot of conventions and I can see them having a couple of these in a small pocket just to have something easy for multiplayer games.
For me, I’d likely use it like they show in one of their promotional images - keyboard shortcuts in art programs, etc.
They work as game controllers and are small (but usuable), but a lot of people use these as a shortcut button box for art and other applications. Like A takes out your paint brush and B your eraser

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Idk what they target demographics is for these things.
Wouldn’t be a bad remote replacement for an Nvidia shield or HTPC

You could use it as a power point clicker etc.
